[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1241947, member: 7999"] Yup. I was pretty sure that you had that bullet fully stabilized. The destruction that the deer shoulder shows indicates that the bullet came apart very quickly. Loosing its shape and weight to the point of not being able to stay on path. They advertise 3200fps as max impact speed. You were under that. Looks like it should be lower max impact speed. May never see that again. Bullets sometimes do weird things. Coyotezapper, Yes I agree. The little 101g blackout bullet is designed for easy opening at low vel for the blackout cartridge. Slower moving bullets will tend to have deeper penetration. I think that data that we just got from the deer hit at high vel is an indication of not enough sectional density. He is going to shoot another deer for the sake of science. :D Hopefully a bit further out to see how that does. This little blackout bullet is different that the rest of our bullets in design. It is a very short bearing surface, with a proportionally long nose. Designed to not take up any case capacity in order to maximize vel. We designed it with a pointy nose for the tacticool aspect. We may have to give a max vel impact for hunting on this one. Steve [/QUOTE]
